AT-A-GLANCE INFO

The new OLED display puts everything you need to know, right where you need it. Browse for sounds, see which parameters you’re adjusting in real-time, and more.

PLAY ANYWHERE

All A-Series keyboards are USB-Bus powered. No need to hunt for an outlet, just plug in to your laptop and play.

PRE-MAPPED AND READY TO PLAY

Each of the 8 touch-sensitive knobs is pre-mapped to the most useful controls on all your KOMPLETE and NKS plug-ins.

NAVIGATE YOUR PROJECTS

The four-directional push encoder gives you one-handed control over your session.

PRE-MAPPED AND READY TO PLAY

All of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects are pre-mapped to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware by the people who know them best – the instrument designers themselves. Essential parameters like envelope controls and filter cutoffs are instantly displayed on the OLED display as you touch the corresponding knob. That means you can see exactly what you’re adjusting in real time – whether it’s in kHz, dB, or BPM.

PERFORM CREATIVELY

With Smart Play, you never need to worry about hitting a wrong note – just pick a scale and play. Activate chord mode to create a rich progression by playing single keys, then switch on the arpeggiator and turn it into an expressive musical performance. And for keyboard novices, Easy Mode maps the white keys to whichever scale you like.

CAPTURE YOUR IDEAS

No matter your setup, A-Series is designed to fit right into your existing workflow, with immediate access to transport, mixing, and editing controls in your favorite DAW. Logic Pro X, GarageBand, and Ableton Live are currently supported, with advanced integration for Cubase and Nuendo coming in a future update to the KOMPLETE KONTROL software. And if you’re just getting started, the included MASCHINE Essentials allows you to capture and arrange your ideas direct from your hardware – no additional software needed.
